How to price a pressure-washing job using your costs

Use this free pressure washing pricing and profit calculator to review a quote before sending it to a customer. Choose the service and enter or estimate the size, then review labor, materials, travel and overhead. Starting assumptions are editable examples, not a measurement of the property or a local market price.

1. Check the scope and time

Confirm which surfaces are included, their condition, access and approximate size. Account for setup, protection, cleaning and cleanup. If two people work for three hours, that is six labor-hours. An owner’s time also has a cost. Use a labor rate that reflects the labor costs you intend to recover.

2. Include the costs that are easy to miss

Review chemicals, consumables, travel and the overhead you allocate to the job. Equipment wear, insurance, administration and other business costs still matter even when the customer only sees a single price. Avoid counting the same cost twice. Estimated profit is meaningful only to the extent that the costs you enter are complete.

3. Review break-even and margin

Break-even is the price that covers the costs included in your estimate. A target margin adds room above those costs. For planning, price before tax equals estimated cost divided by one minus target margin, expressed as a decimal. Compare that result with the scope, your minimum charge and the price the customer is willing to accept.

Fictional worked example: six labor-hours at $35 cost $210. Add $45 for materials, $25 for travel and $58 of allocated overhead, for $338 total estimated cost. At a $525 price before tax, the estimated surplus over those costs is $187, or about 35.6% of the price. A 35% target margin would require approximately $520 before rounding. These are demonstration numbers, not a recommended quote or promised result.

Margin and markup are different

A 35% markup on $338 produces a $456.30 price and about a 25.9% margin. A 35% margin requires dividing $338 by 0.65. Confusing the two can leave less room for costs than you intended. Review discounts and the final customer price before sending the estimate.
